[aur-dev] json rpc query patch
by Sylvester Johansson 29 May '08

29 May '08

Hello! Here is a patch that adds a query method to the json rpc class. Instead of having to call rpc.php?type=search&arg=<pkg> and then query the return again, the query speeds it up by doing it server side rpc.php?type=query&arg=<string>&include=<field1>:<field2>:..:<fieldN> where <fieldN> is one of the following: ID, Name, Version, Description, URL, URLPath, License, NumVotes or OutOfDate. Hopefully it'll be accepted so arson searches will be a bit quicker! /scj

[aur-dev] Live AUR2 demo available
by Sebastian Nowicki 26 May '08

26 May '08

Hey guys, I setup AUR2 on my new slice a couple days ago. I tried to get it working properly, but there's some bug with submitting packages. I'm not sure what's causing it. Anyway, you can view a bit of AUR2 over at http://aur.sebnow.info . Hopefully I'll get some time to fix it soon, but I've got exams atm, and then I'm going to the US for a week, so maybe after that. -- Sebastian Nowicki

[aur-dev] the json query interface
by eliott 26 May '08

26 May '08

I am almost thinking the json interface needs to be disconnected from the aur itself, and offered up as a separate service. Reasoning: 1. It has a different focus than the rest of the aur. 2. Updates to the interface could be done without needing to update the rest of the aur. 3. We could drop alot of the aur overhead in the rcp interface 4. We could rewrite the interface in python, and just attach it to a url on the aur site (or its own port or something). 5. It would give us a chance to maybe do some new and exciting things. thoughts? Since I am offering up the idea, and since I wrote the original json interface, I would have no problem doing the work, so this isn't a "I think this is a good idea for someone else to do" type thing. I am looking for feedback as to whether I should spend the time on it or not.

[aur-dev] PATH aur-rpc custom search fields.
by Francesc Ortiz 24 May '08

24 May '08

i have opened a ticket in the bugtracker about a patch i made to extend the rpc.php functionality by allowing you to specify what fields you want to receive when performing a search: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10487 I couldn't test it because i don't know how to clone the aur database. This is also said in the bugtracker ticket.

[aur-dev] aur JSON interface
by Piotr Husiatyński 20 May '08

20 May '08

JSON interface is really cool and searching is really quick. But IMO it needs more improvements. For example, info query should return name, AND short description. And how about some advanced searching, like adding regexp? If I want to use regexp now, I have to do it manually on client side - first download few JSON objects, then join the results and finally use the regexp. It would be also nice if there was more searching/query options. What do you think about it? Could someone try to write patch? I know, I should write it by myself, but I don't know PHP. ;) -- pozdrawiam, Piotr Husiatyński

[aur-dev] acroread issue
by Aaron Griffin 15 May '08

15 May '08

So, we killed off acroread in the main repos (redistribution rules). I'm trying to upload it to unsupported, but I am getting yelled at - package exists. Doing a search tells me that no packages match the exact name. I am not sure where this is coming from - does the AUR check for existence in [extra]? If so, is anyone aware of how the data is pulled from the main db? tarball is here: http://phraktured.net/acroread.tar.gz If anyone can figure this out, that'd be great. Thanks, Aaron

[aur-dev] [request] Add usernames to nightly emails
by Aaron Griffin 13 May '08

13 May '08

It's be nice to see who uploaded packages to the AUR in the nightly emails. Additionally, descriptions might be fun too. Perhaps we could multi-line the package listings? Just a request for anyone looking for something to do

This removes the AUR voting page. It's pretty obvious it's not getting any use. -- Callan Barrett
